Abstract Background Background Corticosteroids (CS) are widely used for rapid-action or induction treatment in children and young people (CYP) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Given a lack of evidence base on CS induction regimen for CYP with JIA, and since criteria for choosing CS are based on healthcare professional (HCP) preference, further research is needed (1). Methods A national electronic survey was undertaken among HCPs across the UK as part of the Steroid Induction Regimen for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SIRJIA) study. We aimed to establish the opinions of HCPs current practice regarding the clinical criteria for commencing CS treatment Results A total of 39 (24%) responses were received from 162 HCPs. These included 22 (56%) NHS consultants, five (13%) grid trainees, eight (21%) clinical nurse specialists and four other HCPs (10%). The most common treatments newly diagnosed JIA or a disease flare were intra-articular IACS or a combination of DMARDs and IAS (except for systemic JIA and oligoarticular JIA). The majority of HCPs 17 would treat new and flaring CYP the same with 53% choosing a different regime or not answering. The key criteria HCPs used for commencing CS and choosing route of administration were rapid induction of remission (31 (89%)), high disease activity (31 (89%)), severity of systemic JIA (30 (86%)) and level of inflammation (28 (80%)), see Table 1. The main determinants of route of administration was disease severity disease subtype. The majority of HCPs (52-72%) would consider entering CYP with JIA into a trial randomising to modes of administration. P14 Table 1 Reasons of CS Choice Number N = 39 Percentage % High Disease Activity 35 89.7 Rapid induction of remission 34 87.18 Severity of Systemic JIA 34 87.18 Level of inflammation 32 82.5 Severe Uveitis 30 76.92 JIA subtype 27 68.21 Targeting Specific Joints 26 66.67 Level of Disability 18 46.15 Level of pain 16 41.03 Long-standing Disease 11 28.1 Patient reluctance to take DMARDS 8 20.5 Conclusion The results from this national survey of clinical practice showed varying practices in the management of new CYP with JIA and those that are flaring. The majority of HCPs who completed this survey, indicated that they would be prepared to consider entering CYP into a trial that randomised to the four CS delivery methods. Conflicts of Interest The authors declare no conflicts of interest.

A telephone survey was conducted to describe current practices and policies of patient transport in Australian hospitals.The survey had a 94% response rate. Results showed considerable variability and ambiguity throughout the samplein both practice and policy. Findings also indicated that criteria used for transport practices were predominantlyshaped by physiological and technological considerations. Factors related to human and financial resources, as well aspsychological and emotional aspects of the patient's condition, received little attention.
